QUARTERBACK

• Lamar Jackson is the projected starting quarterback for BAL

  9.8 Y/A

  Through 3 games in 2026, Lamar Jackson threw for 745 passing yards, completed 69.7% of his passes and averaged 9.8 yards per attempt. Last season over 13 games he threw for 2549 yards, completed 63.6% and averaged 8.44 yards per attempt, 21-7 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 4-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 3 games in.

• Cam Ward is the projected starting quarterback for TEN

  5.73 Y/A

  Through 3 games in 2026, Cam Ward threw for 504 passing yards, completed 62.5% of his passes and averaged 5.73 yards per attempt. Last season over 17 games he threw for 3169 yards, completed 59.8% and averaged 5.87 yards per attempt, 15-7 touchdowns to interceptions. This season's 2-1 touchdown-to-interception line is 3 games in.

TRENCHES

• BAL: 105 rushing yards allowed per game to TEN's 126.3

  21.3 YPG

  Baltimore allows 105 rushing yards a game over 3 games, and Tennessee gives up 126.3. The Titans run defense is the softer one, which matters against a Ravens team built to run. Game script inflates rushing allowed for teams that trail, and three games can tilt either way. If Baltimore gets ahead, Tennessee's number likely grows, so Ravens rushing props fit that spot.

PASS RUSH

• TEN: 9 sack yards lost per game to BAL's 17

  8 YDS

  TEN is at 9 sack yards lost per game over 3 games; BAL is at 17 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 26.1 over 17 games and BAL at 17.2 over 17 games.

PACE & SCRIPT

• BAL: 30.7 points per game to TEN's 12.3

  18.3 PPG

  The Ravens score 30.7 a game to the Titans' 12.3 over three games. Baltimore is up from 24.9 last season and Tennessee is down from 16.7, so both are running a bit to the extremes, with the Ravens more likely to cool slightly. The gap was wide last year too, so a lopsided game is plausible, but the exact margin from three games is likely overstated.

• BAL: 30:39 time of possession per game to TEN's 23:28

  7:11 TOP

  TEN is at 23:28 time of possession per game over 3 games; BAL is at 30:39 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 29:08 over 17 games and BAL at 29:11 over 17 games.

• TEN: 19.7 points allowed per game to BAL's 26

  6.3 PPG

  TEN is at 19.7 points allowed per game over 3 games; BAL is at 26 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 28.1 over 17 games and BAL at 23.4 over 17 games.

• TEN @ BAL carries a 42.5 market total

  42.5

  At 42.5, this game is 4 points below the 46.5 slate median, so the market expects somewhat fewer points than a typical game this week. The sheet gives no injury or matchup reason for it. A short gap like this cracks easily: a defensive score or a couple of long plays would do it. Bettors can treat early pace and red-zone finishing as the tell for whether the lower expectation holds.

• BAL: 59.3 offensive plays per game to TEN's 52.3

  7 PLAYS

  TEN is at 52.3 offensive plays per game over 3 games; BAL is at 59.3 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 59.1 over 17 games and BAL at 57.3 over 17 games.

EXPLOSIVE PLAYS

• BAL: 6.67 yards per play to TEN's 4.77

  1.9 Y/P

  Baltimore gains 6.67 yards a play to Tennessee's 4.77, and both were in the same spots last season at 5.92 and 4.38. The big-play split shows it: the Ravens had 7 plays of 20+ yards in their last game, from Lamar Jackson to Rashod Bateman and Zay Flowers and a 29-yard Derrick Henry run, while the Titans had 1, a 20-yard Cam Ward throw to Carnell Tate. Tennessee needs long, mistake-free drives to keep up; Baltimore can score in chunks.

RED ZONE

• BAL: 66.7% red-zone scoring rate to TEN's 50%

  16.7 PP

  TEN is at 50% red-zone scoring rate over 3 games; BAL is at 66.7% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 57.6% over 17 games and BAL at 47.5% over 17 games.

• BAL: 4 red-zone trips per game to TEN's 2.67

  1.33 TRIPS

  TEN is at 2.67 red-zone trips per game over 3 games; BAL is at 4 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 1.94 over 17 games and BAL at 3.47 over 17 games.

• TEN: 55.6% red-zone scoring allowed to BAL's 70%

  14.4 PP

  Tennessee has let opponents score on 55.6% of red-zone trips over 3 games, while Baltimore sits at 70%. Red-zone rates move wildly early because the trip counts are small, so both numbers could shift a lot in one game. Baltimore's figure means drives that get close against them usually finish. Factor that into Titans scoring only lightly, since the sample is thin.

MISMATCH

• BAL: 167.3 rush yards a game to TEN's 90.3

  167.3 VS 90.3

  Baltimore is running for 167.3 yards a game over three games, while Tennessee sits at 90.3. Both numbers line up with last season, 156.6 for Baltimore and 93.5 for Tennessee, so this is a lasting difference. Tennessee has to keep the game close early, because once Baltimore is ahead it can grind out the clock on the ground.

COVERAGE

• TEN: 189 passing yards allowed per game to BAL's 216.3

  27.3 YPG

  TEN is at 189 passing yards allowed per game over 3 games; BAL is at 216.3 over 3 games. Those are what each defense has allowed in this season's games through Oct 3.

REPLACEMENT

• Lamar Jackson (QB) is questionable for BAL

  QUESTIONABLE

  Jackson is Baltimore's starting quarterback and the center of the offense, so any limit on him changes how this team plays. He was seen in a walking boot on his left ankle after Sunday's 24-18 win over the Titans. Questionable means a real chance he sits, and a boot right after a game is a sign to wait for practice reports. Until his status firms up, Baltimore markets carry extra uncertainty.

• Ronnie Stanley (OT) is questionable for BAL

  QUESTIONABLE

  Stanley is Baltimore's tackle and he finished Sunday's 24-18 win over Tennessee despite a toe injury. Playing through it is a good sign for his availability. Questionable keeps some doubt, so confirm his status, especially alongside the Lamar Jackson news.

• Chris Moore (WR) is inactive for BAL

  INACTIVE

  Moore is inactive, so he will not play against Tennessee. The sheet gives no injury or reason, which often points to a depth decision at receiver. Any small role he had goes to the other Ravens receivers, and the impact on the game should be minor.

• Ethan Pocic (C) is on injured reserve for BAL

  IR

  Baltimore put Pocic on injured reserve Saturday with a knee injury, so the Ravens are without their center against Tennessee. A backup now handles snaps and calls up front, which can mean more pressure up the middle. Factor in a less settled interior line when looking at Ravens offensive markets.

• Jovaughn Gwyn (G) is on injured reserve for BAL

  IR

  The Ravens moved Gwyn (ankle) to injured reserve Saturday. Reported Oct 4.

• Jackson Slater (G) is on injured reserve for TEN

  IR

  Tennessee placed Slater on injured reserve Tuesday with a foot injury, ruling the guard out at Baltimore. Fellow guard Fernando Carmona went on IR the same day, so the Titans are patching two spots on the interior. Expect a reshuffled line against the Ravens, which matters for anyone leaning on the Tennessee offense.

• Fernando Carmona (G) is on injured reserve for TEN

  IR

  Tennessee put Carmona on injured reserve Tuesday with an ankle injury, so the guard misses the game at Baltimore. The Titans also lost guard Jackson Slater to IR the same day, which leaves the interior line thin. Two guards gone at once is a real hit to protection and the run game, and that is the angle to weigh in this matchup.

SITUATIONAL

• TEN: 50% fourth-down conversion rate to BAL's 0%

  50 PP

  TEN is at 50% fourth-down conversion rate over 3 games; BAL is at 0% over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 45.7% over 17 games and BAL at 60% over 17 games.

• TEN (0-3) at BAL (2-1)

  +36 PT GAP

  Tennessee is 0-3 and -22, so the losing is real, though -22 over three games is closer to steady losses than blowouts. Baltimore is 2-1 and +14, yet 0-1 at home, one game that says little. The Ravens profile as the better team without being dominant. If the spread treats this as a mismatch on the scale of the records, Tennessee's losing margins suggest some room.

• TEN: 44.3 penalty yards per game to BAL's 66

  21.7 YDS

  TEN is at 44.3 penalty yards per game over 3 games; BAL is at 66 over 3 games. Those are this season's games through Oct 3. Last season TEN was at 59.5 over 17 games and BAL at 43.9 over 17 games.

STREAK

• TEN has lost 3 straight

  L3

  Tennessee is 0-3 and has not won a game. Three games is a small sample and the opponents are not on the sheet, so the record alone does not separate a bad roster from a hard start. Going on the road to Baltimore is a tough spot for any winless team. The useful question is whether the spread already reflects that, since books know the public avoids teams like this.

AFTER GARY

• TEN +11.5 → +11.5

  NO MOVE

  Gary's number was 11.5; the market closed at 11.5.
